As if that wasn't enough, the 'Elite' jersey, which is near the level of a game-issued jersey, will rise almost 20 percent, from $250 to $295.

The NFL has nothing to do with the jersey price hike as ESPN reports the decision comes from both Nike and retailers. It went on to suggest the increase in price came directly from Nike this go around.

But sources told ESPN.com that it was Nike executives alone who made the decision, implementing the new prices as the minimum prices retailers could sell the different style of jerseys for.

The vast majority of NFL jerseys that Nike sells are that of the 'Game' variety, which the company opted to keep the same price. But for those who want anything other than the screen print moving forward, they're going to have to shell out a little more cash to be in style.
